Another Superindendent calls out Maggie/Minarik’s unF.A.I.R. plan
Meet the East Rochester superintendent of schools. Howard Maffucci.
This short 3:06 minute video is summarized below and was taken at the open forum held by the Democratic Caucus on Thursday October 11th.
0:39 - Trying to make the county’s fiscal issues the responsibilities of the school district is wrong.
1:00 - Monies taken by Monroe County Legislature isn’t the legislatures ot take - it is the schools money per the Morin Ryan agreement (remember even Morin is against Maggie’s plan)
1:45 - The County Legislatures actions are illegal
2:20 - Additional aid form the state was applied to reducing the tax levy.
What strikes me is these School district administrators - Bovard in Webster, Manaseri in Brighton, and Maffucci in East Rochester are now engaged in full contact politics instead of the supposed apolitical world of educating our kids and enabling our future. You can hear the discomfort and disdain in their voices as they wade into the divisive area of GOP county politics.
Frankly, our administrators and our children deserve better.
But listen for yourself.

Now you should put that picture of the group photo with everyone applauding Maggie’s (un)FAIR plan up. The mayor of East Rochester is the one in the photo clapping in the white shirt with no jacket on - too bad he doesn’t share the superintendent’s thoughts.
Elect Jason Koon for MAYOR in 48 hours!
